I have had this device for over a week now and love it... The size is great and the speed it works is also great. I have had several different Nooks since they first started coming out and wouldn't want to be without one.

I bought this Nook for the larger screen, and memory capacity. I really like this one over the much smaller 7 inch that I originally owned. I can read my magazines, picture books, and comics much better with the larger screen, and its much easier on my eyes. I also enjoy the Micro Soft and Skype apps, especially One Note.

This is very nice. The large screen, with excel and word already loaded. Lots of apps and very responsive.

If you are looking for a tablet for just reading, this tablet is great. However, if you think that this tablet is going to be an expanded version of your cell phone for storing items because of the 128 GB expandable memory, look elsewhere. As long as items are on the tablet hard drive, things are great. When you start transferring items to the SD card, good luck, as that process is catch as catch can and deletes or modifies some items already on the SD card. Videos that play fine on the hard drive suddenly cannot be played, or are totally deleted. Pictures are partially or totally greyed out. Items show as an OK thumbnail cannot be opened. Apps that are stored on the SD card to conserve hard drive memory are wiped out and have to be re-installed. Have tried 2 separate high send Samsung cards, and the same thing happens. Never had this problem using my low end Samsung Galaxy phones when transferring items to the SD card, currently have an Avant.

So far, it's working well. I had the Nook HD but it stopped working. I got this and it works well when I figure things out. The pain is that no one at Barnes and Noble stores or online know how to do anything with it and I can't get advice. For example, I'm trying to find out how to address the microSD card. No one has any Idea how.

I love this Gadget! Setup was simple. And....it remembered all my books from my previous Nook. It even remembered the page. Audio is good. Though I do hook it up to my speakers when I'm in the garage doing work. I'm going to add an SD card. I'm filling up with so many awesome apps. Definitely worth it.

The tablet is very heavy. Difficult to hold while watching movies and tv. Screen also has high glare.

I've had this device for about week and half and I've only had to charge it twice. I like being able to download all my reading app and not just Nook. The only thing I don't like about it is the charging port in at the top of the device and the cable is to short to read comfortably while charging.

I have had my Samsung Tab 4 for over a year now and love it... The size is great and the speed it works is also great. I am a Theology student with large volumes of reading; I have been able to load just about all my text and reference books to the cloud and have access to them with out the back breaking pack to carry.

Great tablet all in all. Nice screen size and display. I have been on board with nook tablets from the beginning. My biggest disappointment with this tablet is that I can't put my unread books on my tabletop. I made a shelf to keep them separate but no more one click simplicity.

I like the Tab E but not as much as I did my old Nook tablet. I miss even more the swivel cover that I had with the Nook. Has anyone found one that fits the Tab E?

I just recently purchased the Samsung Tab E. I love it! It was very easy to set up & download all my books & apps from my previous device. I really like the size of it too. Easy to read and handle. Great tablet!

I had the original Nook and waited to upgrade until the Tab E came out. It was well worth the wait. Easy to use and good features. Wish you had more variety in covers, the original Nook had great covers, this one is just OK.

I bought the NOOK Tab E about a month ago and absolutely LOVE it. I previously had the NOOK 7 and although it was nice for reading, the screen proves to be a little small for other things I want to do with it. The Tab E is just about the perfect size for not just reading and surfing the web but also for playing games. I have a cover, but liked the one I had for the NOOK 7 as I could stand it upright, would be nice if they had one for the NOOK Tab E. The screen is large and loading is fast; the only problem I've had is when inserting a micro SD card as the cover doesn't stay shut. Other than that I am glad I took the plunge and purchased the larger NOOK.

Biggest problem for me is the buttons for showing previous screens and returning to the previous screen are now on the bottom when your holding the tablet in the portrait position. I don't have a cover (stand) yet so I'm constantly hitting those buttons when I hold it close. It's annoying but other than that I love the size and features.

This is Nook#2. Love everything about the device.

I was very happy with this device for about a year and a half. However, the battery failed and the device will no longer charge. After a very long time on hold, Nook support was not helpful or hopeful, as this device has the battery built in (can't be replaced). Cautionary tale - it's inexpensive enough, but may need replacement sooner than you would think.

Tablet is a bit heavy, but having had several large tablets -- its somewhere in the middle for its size.
Great performance with working with browsers in multiplicity, the added Microsoft , and pretty much all android MPGs I threw at it. Its also held up well for the past year being used by my toddler who drops it occasionally (it does have a folding leather case FWIW).
